Blindfolded Dunk Quickly Escalates Into Disastrous Dunk

Justin Melton won the Philippines Basketball Association’s slam dunk contest in 2014. Lightning was not destined to strike twice, however.

Melton, though, can take heart in knowing he's got that 2014 title. Here's part of his performance that magical evening.
